Senate Memorial 7, introduced by Leo Jaramillo, declares February 11, 2025, as "Lowrider Day" in the New Mexico Senate. The memorial highlights the cultural significance of lowriding in New Mexico, emphasizing its role in celebrating the state's cultural diversity and heritage, particularly within Hispanic and Chicano communities. It acknowledges the historical importance of lowriders in cities like Albuquerque and Espanola, which is recognized as the lowrider capital of the world. The memorial also notes the positive impact of lowriders on community relations and economic development, as well as their contribution to the state's tourism industry.
Additionally, the memorial requests that the New Mexico Legislature consider legislation to officially designate the lowrider as the state's official car, as there is currently no official state car. This request is supported by previous legislative measures from the Albuquerque city council advocating for the recognition of lowriders. The memorial concludes by directing that copies be sent to the governor, the secretary of tourism, and the city councils of Albuquerque, Espanola, and Santa Fe.
